Chapter 719 - 338: On the Eve of Battle
At 8 o’clock in the evening, Maya and Stone arrived at the camp on foot, leaving the armored vehicle parked ten kilometers away. Stone had considered siphoning some fuel from the pickup for the vehicle, but Maya vetoed the idea outright; they needed to save whatever fuel was left for tomorrow’s siege.
Upon their arrival, Su Shi announced that dinner was ready. He had cooked today, preparing some dishes with their own regional flavors through the system kitchen. The meal was a feast for the senses, but Maya was not in the mood and instead went outside the tent to the campfire with Shana to discuss work matters. Compared to the previous information they had on the mountaintop church and the sawmill, their intel on the commercial street was lacking—it felt more like a gamble.
Lin Wu had great admiration for Maya, for Dawn robots didn’t need any rest. From meeting Shana in the morning to pushing the cart back in the evening, she dove straight back into work without taking a breather. When looking for a nanny or hiring workers, one should find individuals like her.
After dinner, Maya called out, "Lin Wu, let’s go."
"Coming."
One could sneak into Leimeng Town from any point of the U-shaped highway on foot, but only the northern and southern ramps allowed entry for horses and vehicles. This time, Lin Ma took the southern ramp close to the tent base.
Walking carefully along the side of the ramp into the town, they were stopped by an automatic barrier system. Maya said, "We’ll need to swipe a couple of license plates later." There was not much space left at the side. People might pass, but not vehicles, not even horses.
"Swapping plates is illegal."
